Nice analogy.

Why, it's almost as if scientists weren't supposed to change what they said according to the evidence.

Every subject suffers to some extent from people learning something about it at school or uni then never reading more about it, so when you make a statement about something that is based on the last 40 years of professional research into the topic, they immediately contradict you, as if nothing has changed in those 40 years. Some people even thing that the best SF ever was written by some bloke called Heinlein.
